Civil Works
Underground services are the part of a project nobody sees until something goes wrong. Tor Contracting installs and repairs watermain, storm, and sanitary sewer lines for homeowners, builders, and general contractors — from a single water service to full site servicing.
Why Choose Tor Contracting for Civil Works in Simcoe & Dufferin County
Civil Work Isn't Site Work
Watermain, storm, and sewer work is inspected, tested, and signed off — not just backfilled and walked away from. We build to the engineered spec so your lines pass inspection the first time and don't come back as a leak, a sinkhole, or a failed grade.
Our Own Machines, Our Own Crew
We excavate, install, and backfill with our own equipment and our own people. No waiting on a rental yard and no handoffs between sub-trades — the crew that cuts the trench is the crew that reinstates the surface.
Municipal & Engineering Coordination
We work directly with engineers, inspectors, and municipal staff on locates, inspections, testing, and as-built requirements. You get one point of contact who understands what the approving authority is going to ask for.
Safe Trenches, Insured Work
Trenching is the most dangerous part of any civil job. Our crews work with proper shoring and dewatering, and we carry $5M in general liability coverage with WSIB-compliant crews on every project.
Our Process
Locates, Permits & Planning
Before we dig, we confirm every locate, review the engineered drawings, and line up the permits and road-use requirements with the municipality. Depth, grade, and pipe class are set out on paper first so nothing is figured out mid-trench.
Excavate, Shore & Dewater
We cut the trench to the specified depth and grade with our own excavators, install proper shoring, and manage groundwater with dewatering pumps. Trenches stay stable and crews stay out of them except to work.
Install Pipe, Structures & Connections
Watermain, sanitary, and storm pipe are set on correctly bedded stone at the right slope, with joints, valve chambers, catch basins, and manholes installed to spec. Ties into existing mains are done with planned shutdowns and controlled connections.
Test, Inspect & Reinstate
Lines are flushed, pressure and leak tested, and inspected before backfill. We compact in lifts to prevent settling, then restore gravel, asphalt, curbs, or topsoil so the surface is left the way we found it — or better.
Fully Equipped: We own and operate our own equipment, tools, trucks, and disposal bins — no rentals, no sub-trades, no scheduling delays.
Fully Insured: $5M liability coverage, WSIB compliant.
